Statting out Sweetwater

I have begun to stat out Sweetwater, which is the town that the PCs will have as a home base.   It is a bit of a oasis town, even if this area of the great desert still uses oxen and horses. 





The town of sweetwater is a welcome, secure town in the great desert.   Visitors will first notice a walled town with a 60 foot lizardman statue in the middle of town.   The walls are made of 20 foot mortared stone, blown smooth by the occasional dust storm.   The land surrounding the town is dry, but still enough grasses can be found for horses, oxen, and donkeys.    Three large wells are the centerpiece of this town, and it exists to serve travelers and merchant caravans as they ply the Gold trail north, or head to the harbor of Gulltown to the south.  



   The people of Sweetwater are good people, but the hardscrabble life means that they do not accept outsiders openly until they show their true motives.   and they are much more confortable with a merchant caravan then the new waves of fortune seekers who are arriving to explore and plunder the Ruins of Tlaxtza.
